To the Question of the Role of Enterprise Organizations in Development of the Fishery Industry of the Lower Volga Region (end 19 - Beginning of 20 vv.)

Abstract

The need to restore the positions lost by the domestic industry over the past decade leads to the interest in studying the rich experience of industrial development of Russia in the late 19th-early 20th century. An important role in the creation of all necessary conditions for the industrial breakthrough in this period played various business organizations, including industry conferences and exchange committees, which gave the government a representation not only of individual sectors of the Russian economy, but also the aspirations of the commercial and industrial bourgeoisie as a whole. The article discusses the role of the industry conventions of the Caspian-Volga fishery and Astrakhan exchange Committee, in addressing the critical issues facing rybopromyshlennaja in the late 19th - early 20th century, as the customs taxation of imported fish product, railway tariffs for transportation of fish and environmental legislation.
